Hi list,

I was wondering about tdb_null:

I think it should at least be const.
But shouldn't it also be initialized = { NULL, 0 }; ?

Looking at the object file with nm, I see the following types
of symbols for tdb_null:

"B" when not const, not initialized,
"B" when not const,     initialized,
"C" when     const, not initialized,
"R" when     const,     initialized

So I was wondering what is the proper way to go, especially when
putting tdb into a shared library.

Michael
